Great Leadership Team, Work life balance, Love the Culture

Senior DirectorI have been working at Radiant Solutions full-time(Less than a year)Prosthe leadership team here is authentic, humble, and extremely competent technically. The President is amazingly transparent, personable, and has seemingly infinite patience. The projects and products that Radiant works on and creates are cutting edge so it's great to be a part of that. Most work is done unclassified and on Radiant sites and this is a great place to work to get exposure to a broad set of things : imagery, big data, software engineering, data science, deep learning etc even NLP.Radiant Solutions is not just a government contracting company, it is also a product company.

Radiant Solutions is not just a government contracting company, it is also a product company. The developers and data scientists are really great people to work with and learn from.
Cons
There are no significant cons that I can think of
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing, keep pushing on the product development front with a focus on AI/ML

Operational Meteorologist reviewI worked at Radiant Solutions full-time(More than 3 years)ProsThe people specifically in the commercial side and in the Meteorology room were amazing. It was a very close group which made it particularly hard to leave. In addition, my manager and director were always extremely supportive of career growth which was very important to me and I appreciate everything they did for me. As an operational meteorologist, I learned an immense amount from the more experienced meteorologists. It was a supportive group which I believe allowed us all to succeed and I know that they will continue to succeed.Outside of my direct group, I was an avid supporter of the Snack ... more>>

Operational Meteorologist review
I worked at Radiant Solutions full-time(More than 3 years)
Pros
The people specifically in the commercial side and in the Meteorology room were amazing. It was a very close group which made it particularly hard to leave.

As an operational meteorologist, I learned an immense amount from the more experienced meteorologists. It was a supportive group which I believe allowed us all to succeed and I know that they will continue to succeed.
Outside of my direct group, I was an avid supporter of the Snack Wednesdays, the company holiday parties, the chili cookoff, along with other events. Dogfish Alehouse is across the street from the Gaithersburg office too which always makes for a good meeting spot.
Cons
This is more to do with the requirement of my role but the non-standard hours were difficult along with working holidays and weekends at times. This comes with the job though. I also felt that the upper level management was disconnected at times from our group. There also tended to be some communication issues from upper level management at times, but this improved a lot from when I first started to when I was leaving.
Advice to Management
Continue to allow people to grow. I think this was the best quality I saw with my direct management that I don't think a lot of other places offer.

When each manager looks after their team like they are a small company of their own within the larger corporation, good things happen. We still maintain that "smaller company" feel even though we have grown so much in the last several years. It is important to empower mid-level managers to help the people under them and make sure the right people are chosen for such positions. It is easy to let a job fall into just punching a time clock and showing up (especially after several years), but I don't believe in that and I don't think that is what we do in this company, in my experience.

Advice to Management
When each manager looks after their team like they are a small company of their own within the larger corporation, good things happen. We still maintain that "smaller company" feel even though we have grown so much in the last several years. It is important to empower mid-level managers to help the people under them and make sure the right people are chosen for such positions. Just because someone has been a great analyst or programmer for years doesn't mean they will be a good manager. It is also important to train and give resources to the managers who want to improve and get better for the sake of their team and the company. For the most part, I believe this is happening and it benefits everyone in the long run. It is easy to let a job fall into just punching a time clock and showing up (especially after several years), but I don't believe in that and I don't think that is what we do in this company, in my experience. Keep up the good work!

Meaningful, challenging work despite growing pains and legacy projects
I have been working at Radiant Solutions full-time(Less than a year)
Pros
Great, supportive work environment
Flexible work hours
Education expense reimbursement (including tuition, conferences, textbooks...)
You get to do real development from the start, and the small project/team structure means you have independence to work at your own pace/strengths but you always have others to support you.
Cons
Benefits in Ypsilanti haven't caught up to those at other branches.
Communication is difficult at times due to security logistics and largeness of office space. On the company wide scale, all of the mergers transitions make communication from upper management hard to follow at times.
There is some exciting tech, but there is also a lot of legacy tech and legacy projects and IT/security concerns make updates slow.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work trying to organize and consolidate processes and making logistics and resources a lot simpler.
